Screenshots
Scroll the row, it snaps to each screenshot. Click one to see it wider.
One Switch 1.35.4 packs seven system toggles into a single menu bar icon. For a newcomer, the first few things to try are the ones that save the most clicks.
- Hide or show desktop icons instantly — clean up a screenshot or a presentation in one click.
- Toggle Do Not Disturb without opening System Settings.
- Automate Light and Dark appearance switching during the day.
- Send the Mac to sleep from the menu bar.
- Set automatic sleep and wake times.
- Run up to seven switches at once, so your most-used toggles are always one click away.
First days with one switch
After installing, take a few minutes to customize which switches appear in the menu bar. Open the app's preferences and disable the toggles you rarely use. This keeps the dropdown short and the ones you need are always visible.
It controls how the desktop icons behave. If you frequently record screen captures or share your screen in meetings, turning desktop icons off before the session and back on after is a two-click habit that takes seconds to learn.
Set the automatic appearance schedule. One Switch can switch between Light and Dark mode during the day without you touching anything. If you work in a home office with consistent lighting, pick a time for each transition and forget about it.
Connect AirPods from the menu bar. The AirPods connection switch saves digging into Bluetooth settings every time you switch between headphones and speakers. Test it once with your own AirPods to confirm the pairing works.
Multilingual Support Added
Version 1.35.4 added multilingual support. The interface now ships in German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish alongside English. If your system language is one of these, the menus and labels will display in that language automatically.
No other features were added or removed in this update. Existing switches behave the same way. If you are upgrading from an earlier build, the language will switch on its own the first time you open the app after updating.
Real-world scenario: remote support engineer
A contractor who manages Macs for a small law firm has a dozen machines to check remotely each week. Before One Switch, she opened System Settings constantly to hide desktop icons before sharing a screen, toggle Do Not Disturb during calls, and put a client's Mac to sleep after hours.
With One Switch, she keeps those three toggles visible at all times. During a remote support session, she hides desktop icons on the client's Mac with one click, silences notifications, and starts the screen saver when she needs a moment to pull up documentation. After the session, she sends the Mac to sleep from the menu bar. The app replaced three separate workflows with one menu bar item.
She also set the automatic sleep and wake times on a shared office Mac so it shuts down at 7 PM and wakes at 7 AM, saving power without anyone remembering to do it.
For someone who touches multiple Macs daily, the time saved adds up. One Switch is a straightforward download for this kind of use. If you search for one switch mac or one switch download, you will find the current build for macOS 10.15 and later on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.
Start with these, then explore the rest. The app is in English and works on macOS 10.15 or later.
